About The Author
I'M IRISH, SEVENTY, AND IT'S TAKEN ME TIL NOW, TO SAY, i'M A STORYTELLER.
I’ve always believed in the mystical and the mad — and I’ve always told stories, even before I wrote them down.
I live part-time in Ibiza, where wild women, ancient ruins, and unexpected magic are everywhere — sometimes in storerooms behind shops. The island has inspired my novels, my paintings, and my sense of what’s still possible at any age.
When I went to a lecture about Tanit, Ibiza’s ancient goddess of fertility and strength, something clicked. That night, The Ibiza Crone Club took its first breath.
Since then, readers from all over the world have asked me, “What happens next?” — and I’ve had the joy of answering them, book by book.
I hope these stories bring you joy, courage, and a reminder that it’s never too late to begin again.
THE IBIZA CRONE CLUB SERIES
The Ibiza Crone Club is a story of transformation, friendship, wine, and the whisper of an ancient goddess.
Meet Cassandra, Bláithín, and Pamela, three strangers who’ve lived very different lives. They now feel stuck in place by society’s expectations, their own life experiences, and fear of change.
In Ibiza, they find they are ready to bloom again — preferably with sandy feet and a chilled glass of wine in hand.
Then there's always – Shared Skies
A dystopian parallel worlds fantasy published in 2015.
Find new meanings behind many of the world’s mysteries – fish falling from the sky, vitrified rock in the Scottish highlands…
A trinity of parallel worlds, Earth, Gaiana, and Or’ka has existed for aeons, but one is is dying and is looking for new territory.
Eighteen-year-old Gaiah has been protected all her life but now her uncontrolled powers are attracting attention.
Attention that could lead to the annihilation of an unsuspecting Earth. Gaiah has always been able to influence people with her thoughts but when her hair grows to her waist overnight on her eighteenth birthday, her shock and frustration are released on a gang of bullies at school, with unimaginable repercussions.
She is forced to confront and deal with worlds she never knew existed; a trinity of parallel worlds, of which Earth is one. With her father, obliviously in one world, and her grandparents a shimmer away in a parallel existence, Gaiah faces the horror of a dying world driven by greed and a lust for power preparing to conquer all. How can she possibly become the saviour she’s expected to be, when she can’t even control her own thoughts?
What’s Next?
There’s more to come — the stories haven’t stopped, and neither have the women.
